From the rear cover

When first published, Alvin Jackson's Ireland 1798-1998 received widespread critical acclaim for its analytical, sceptical and humane view of modern Irish history. Jackson's re-evaluation of the field, exploration of the varieties of Irish political experience, and his particular attention to the (often highly productive) tension between nationalism and Unionism continue to stand as an impressive achievement.

Now in its second edition, Ireland 1798-1998 has been updated to include coverage of the most recent political developments. It continues to offer readers an elegantly written, accessible and impartial interpretation of modern Irish political history, providing fresh and perceptive insights into some familiar issues and personalities of the period.

Jackson has provided a new epilogue to cover the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement, the restoration of devolution under the Paisley-McGuinness partnership, and the years of Bertie Ahern's political ascendancy. With an updated bibliography and chronology, Ireland 1798-1998 remains a highly stimulating and influential survey of 200 years of Irish history.
